Review by Keith

5 out of 5 stars

"Great Day"

I had tried fly fishing, but was poor. At the end of the day with Rob, my casting is a lot better and I am confident.The structure of the day was good and the initial "theory" was interesting and helpful.The casting practice on land helped a lot and Rob was always there to give tips and encouragement.After a nice lunch we took to the water, which is huge. Rob found some good spots and the fishing was instructive and enjoyable. So I ended up landing 3 trout and losing another. All were a good size. I didn't realise how hard they fight!!Thanks Rob
